Description
Description
The largest combination unit
Thirty-three gallons, 36 in. long, two drinkers, 185 lb. It is the top of the CH line and the one to order where a single tank has to carry cattle on one side and a hog pen on the other at real numbers.
Four parts worth keeping on the shelf
A CH36D runs a 1/2 in. Bob valve, a 3/8 in. RM 153, an 8 in. float rod and both stopper sizes. That is a short list, and having it in the shop turns a winter valve change into an hour rather than a week.
What is inside the frame
Lift the cover on a CH36D and the order of things is plain: a stainless tank holding 33 gallons, an insulated 16 gauge galvanized shell wrapped around it, and an air gap between the two where the heating element lives.
Both valves live in insulated compartments of their own under lift-off covers: a 1/2 in. Bob valve on an 8 in. float rod for the cattle side, and a 3/8 in. RM 153 valve and float assembly for the hog side. The drains take a 2 in. stopper and a 1 1/2 in. stopper respectively.
One tank, two drinkers, 185 lb. empty, feeding cattle on one side and hogs on the other off a single water line and a single circuit.
Before you order
- Water and power both arrive inside the base, so the trench carries two things and should be dug once. The CH36D footprint is 36 by 28 in., which is what your stub-ups have to land inside.
- Pour a reinforced pad about 44 by 36 in. and set it a few inches proud of the surrounding ground. Manure that cannot pack against the frame is manure that cannot rot it.
- The Model 2B element draws 8.3 amps at 120 volts, so a dedicated 15 amp circuit is enough. Have the ground checked while the electrician is there: poor grounding makes stray voltage, and stock that feels a tingle at a trough quietly stop drinking.
- Empty weight is 185 lb. Plan on a loader rather than a carry.
- Rated for 75 to 125 cattle, or 100 hogs per drinker. Both sides draw off one tank, so size the water line for the busier side rather than the average.
- Take your water pressure reading at the waterer itself rather than at the well, and at more than one hour of the day.

CH36D Parts List
Thirty-three Gallons, 2 Drinkers. Cattle One Side, Hogs the Other.
Two drinkers off one tank. The CH36D feeds two separate drinkers from the same 33 gallon tank, so cattle on one side and hogs on the other share one water line, one circuit and one place to check.

Why producers stay with Hoskins
One tank, one water line, one circuit, two kinds of stock. That is the whole idea behind the CH units, and it is the kind of thinking that has kept Hoskins in business in Hoskins, Nebraska since 1966. Stainless tank, insulated galvanized frame, element held off the steel, service doors big enough to actually work through. Nothing clever, just built right and easy to keep running.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing
How many head will a Hoskins cattle waterer handle?
How many head will a Hoskins cattle waterer handle?
Hoskins rates every model by head rather than by gallons. The C28 carries 75 to 100, the C36 75 to 125, the C48 100 to 200, the C75 150 to 250, the C95 250 to 350 and the C120 up to 500. Size on peak demand rather than daily average, because cattle come to water as a bunch after feeding.
What is the difference between a 16 in. and a 26 in. model?
What is the difference between a 16 in. and a 26 in. model?
Only the frame height. A C36-16 and a C36-26 are the same 36 x 26 in. stainless tank, the same 31 gallons and the same head rating. The 26 in. frame lifts the trough out of mud, snow and bedding pack, and adds about 25 lb. to the shipping weight.
How much water does a cow drink in a day?
How much water does a cow drink in a day?
Extension figures put dry and bred cows at 6 to 15 gallons a day, nursing cows at 11 to 18, growing cattle at 4 to 15 and dairy cattle at 15 to 30. Hot weather pushes every one of those toward the top of its range.
Installation
What electrical supply does a Hoskins waterer need?
What electrical supply does a Hoskins waterer need?
Give each unit its own breaker and have the ground checked properly. The C120 at 2,100 watts draws roughly 17.5 amps at 120 volts, which is more than a general purpose circuit should carry, so settle the supply with your electrician before the trench goes in. Poor grounding is the usual source of stray voltage, and stock that gets a tingle off a waterer will quietly stop drinking from it.
Does it need a concrete pad?
Does it need a concrete pad?
A reinforced pad set a few inches proud of the surrounding ground is what makes one of these last. It keeps manure and mud out of the frame, gives the cattle clean footing, and stops the unit settling out of level. Grade so that water runs away from the pad rather than toward it.
Parts and service
What size valve is on my unit?
What size valve is on my unit?
The C28, C36 and C48 run the 1/2 in. Bob valve. The C75, C95 and C120 run the 3/4 in. All cattle models use an 8 in. float rod and a 2 in. rubber stopper. Read the model number off the plate on the service door before ordering.
Will a Hoskins waterer freeze?
Will a Hoskins waterer freeze?
The heated models combine ground heat with an electric element mounted clear of the tank, so heat reaches the water through the air space rather than through a hot spot on the steel. Keeping one open still depends on the power staying on, the element and thermostat working and the riser being protected, so check all three in autumn rather than in January.
